Second Quarter Highlights Company posted revenues of $820 million, adjusted OIBDA of $113 million, and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.30. Our spin-off from Time Warner was completed on June 6, We raised $1.4 billion of debt to acquire the IPC publishing business in the U.K. from Time Warner, and to pay Time Warner a special dividend. We announced the relocation of our corporate headquarters to downtown Manhattan in late We took actions to strengthen our retail distribution network when our second largest newsstand wholesaler defaulted on its payment to us. The estimated impact of the wholesaler transition reduced revenues by $19 million and adjusted OIBDA by $27 million. Time Inc. generated $64 million of free cash flow. Excluding the impact of a $50 million real estate related termination payment, free cash flow would have been $114 million. NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Time Inc. (NYSE:TIME) reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, "On June 6th, we completed our separation from Time Warner. We are once again an independent public company, for the first time since January 1990, said Time Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Joe Ripp. Time Inc. is undergoing a significant transformation as we extend our powerful brands across platforms, work to develop adjacent business opportunities, and move toward a leaner and more nimble operating culture. We had a solid second quarter, we are making real progress, and we are executing. However, we still face secular challenges, and we are in the early innings of driving change.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS Revenues for the second quarter decreased 2% compared to the second quarter of 2013 to $820 million. Excluding the $19 million estimated adverse impact of the wholesaler transition, revenues would have been up 1%. Revenues from the acquisition of Affluent Media Group (AMG) (formerly known as American Express Publishing Corporation) which closed in the fourth quarter of 2013 were partially offset by the loss of revenues from our exit from the CNNMoney.com partnership in conjunction with the spin-off from Time Warner. Excluding the impact of the acquisition and exit, total revenues were down 7% (and down 5% excluding the wholesaler transition). Advertising Revenues increased 3% compared to the second quarter of 2013 to $461 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition and our exit from the CNNMoney.com partnership, advertising revenues declined 3%. Print and Other Advertising Revenues increased 1% to $387 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, print and other advertising revenues declined 6% driven principally by fewer advertising pages sold. According to Publishers Information Bureau data, during the first half of 2014, Time Inc. extended its market share leadership in domestic magazine advertising to 24.9% versus 23.7% during Digital Advertising Revenues increased 12% to $74 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, and our exit from the CNNMoney.com partnership, digital advertising revenues increased 15%. Time Inc. served 81.8 million multiplatform unique visitors during June 2014 in the U.S. (excluding CNNMoney.com), up 11% since December Circulation Revenues, which are comprised of subscription, newsstand and other circulation revenues, declined 5% to $258 million including a $12 million estimated adverse impact from the wholesaler transition.

3 Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, circulation revenues declined 10% (and down 5% excluding the wholesaler transition). Subscription Revenues declined 2% to $171 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, subscription revenues declined 8%. These declines were principally driven by lower demand for print subscriptions and lower revenues at our subscription marketing subsidiary, Synapse. Newsstand Revenues declined 13% to $83 million. The AMG acquisition had little impact on newsstand revenues; however, the wholesaler transition impacted newsstand revenues by approximately $12 million. Excluding the estimated impact of the wholesaler transition, newsstand revenues were flat. Continued volume declines were largely offset by the March price increase on People magazine, a 4% benefit, and the weaker U.S. dollar relative to the British pound, a 5% benefit. Other Revenues, which includes marketing and support services provided to third parties, branded book publishing, events and licensing, declined 10% to $101 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, other revenues were down 15%. The wholesaler transition impacted our revenues from the sale of bookazines by $7 million. In addition, the Fortune Global Forum, which occurs every other year, was held in Chengdu, China in 2013 and represented an $11 million unfavorable comparison to Revenues Summary In millions 2Q Q H H 2013 Print and other advertising $ 387 $ 382 $ 705 $ 704 Digital advertising Advertising revenues Subscription Newsstand Other Circulation revenues Other revenues Revenues $ 820 $ 833 $ 1,565 $ 1,570 Costs of Revenues increased 3% to $328 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, costs of revenues declined 2%. Production costs increased 5% to $191 million. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, production costs were flat as favorable paper and printing prices were partially offset by a postal rate increase. Editorial costs rose 4%. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, editorial costs declined 2% as edit savings were partially offset by digital investments (including launches of Fortune.com and Money.com). Other costs of revenues declined 13% to $26 million principally driven by the biennial Fortune Global Forum which was held in 2013 and not in 2014.

4 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) increased by 7% to $384 million. This includes $5 million of SG&A related to certain transaction-related expenses that are excluded from our adjusted OIBDA calculation. Excluding the impact of the AMG acquisition, SG&A was flat. Year-over-year comparisons were impacted by an $8 million bad debt expense associated with the wholesaler transition, a $5 million increase in stock-based compensation given the absence of equity grants to employees in the prior year, and a $5 million increase in public company costs. Restructuring and Severance Costs were $55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, The increase was primarily a result of planned headcount reductions and certain real estate transactions. In addition, the company made a $50 million payment to settle its obligation for six previously vacated floors at our current headquarters. Adjusted OIBDA of $113 million represented a decrease of $42 million. As mentioned above, approximately $27 million of the decrease was due to the wholesaler transition. Approximately $11 million was associated with incremental public company costs and stock-based compensation expense. Operating Loss of $21 million represented a decrease from the prior year comparable quarter of $124 million in operating income. The current-year quarter included restructuring and severance charges of $55 million and goodwill impairment of $26 million related to the sale of Grupo Editorial Expansión (GEX), our Mexico-based operations, which closed on August 1, Net Loss attributable to Time Inc. shareholders was $32 million compared to net income of $75 million in the year-ago quarter. The current-year quarter included restructuring and severance charges of $55 million and goodwill impairment of $26 million related to the sale of GEX. Adjusted net income attributable to Time Inc. shareholders was $33 million compared to $76 million last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.30 versus $0.70 in the prior-year period. OUTLOOK Time Inc. is updating its 2014 outlook to reflect the impact of the wholesaler transition, the early relocation of our corporate headquarters, and the sale of GEX. We currently expect full year revenues to be between $3.30 billion and $3.37 billion, and adjusted OIBDA of between $510 million and $547 million. The wholesaler transition, initially announced on May 27, 2014, is expected to adversely impact full year revenues by $22 million, and full year adjusted OIBDA by $30 million. The relocation of our corporate headquarters is not expected to impact revenue or adjusted OIBDA in However, as disclosed on June 26, 2014, Time Inc. is expected to incur approximately $6 million of incremental

5 capital expenditures in 2014 associated with the build-out of the 225 Liberty Street location, and total net capital expenditures of $120 million. We expect to also recognize $16 million of noncash accelerated depreciation for the current headquarters in 2014 and $21 million in In 2015, we expect to recognize noncash rent expense of $30 million for 225 Liberty Street (effectively double rent) despite no cash payments until Lastly, we expect to realize approximately $50 million of annual run-rate expense savings beginning in Due to the seasonality of its business, GEX generated a loss in the first half of 2014 but is expected to generate income in the second half of the year. The sale of GEX is thus expected to adversely impact our revenue by approximately $33 million and our adjusted OIBDA by approximately $5 million in the second half of Reconciliation of Full Year 2014 Outlook In millions Impact of Previous Wholesaler Impact of GEX Expected Full Outlook Transition Sale Year 2014 Low Revenues $ 3,354 $ (22) $ (33) $ 3,299 Adjusted OIBDA 545 (30) (5) 510 Margin % 16.2 % 15.5% High Revenues 3,421 (22) (33) 3,366 Adjusted OIBDA 582 (30) (5) 547 Margin % 17.0 % 16.3% The company s Adjusted OIBDA is a non-gaap financial measure.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Time Inc. utilizes Adjusted Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted OIBDA), among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its business. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Operating Income less Depreciation and Amortization and adjusted for noncash impairments of goodwill, intangibles, fixed asset and investments, restructuring and severance costs, gains and losses on operating assets, and other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments or dispositions.

6 Adjusted net income is net income adjusted for noncash impairments of goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets and investments; restructuring and severance costs; gains and losses on operating assets, liabilities and investments; other costs related to mergers, acquisitions, investments or dispositions, as well as contingent consideration related to such transactions, to the extent such costs are expensed; as well as the impact of income taxes on the above items. Similarly, Adjusted Diluted EPS is diluted net income per common share from continuing operations attributable to Time Inc. common shareholders excluding the above items. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by (used in) operations less capital expenditures. The Company uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate its business and this measure is considered an important indicator of the Company's liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, and pay dividends to common shareholders. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow helps investors analyze underlying trends in our business, evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market, provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business and helps investors evaluate our ability to service our debt. Some limitations of Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow are that they do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of the Company s business and they involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance. A general limitation of these measures is that they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation and excluded items. Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company s operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted income per common share from continuing operations and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by (used in) operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The pro forma share information presented herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 gives effect to the issuance of million common shares of the Company in connection with the spin-off of the Company from Time Warner as if it had occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
